Windows 10: Change windows taskbar and start menu color

Hello,


I am trying to change my taskbar color to light pink. I am able to change it to a grayish pink by under "Colors," choosing custom as the color, default Windows mode as dark, and default app mode as light, and then I choose an accent color. The color of the task bar and the start menu is much darker and "grayer" then the color I chose, however. The Is there any way to change the taskbar and start menu to the exact color of my choice? The title bars and window borders are fine.


Thanks.

:)
